Privacy Policy

How we handle personal information, what we collect and why, and the rights you have over it.

Last updated: 14 August 2026

1. Who we are

This website is operated by Wright Fuels Limited ("we", "us", "our"), a company registered in England and Wales under company number 13959631, with its registered office at 192–194 Alder Road, Poole, England, BH12 4AX. Our laboratory and operating address is 51 Holton Road, Holton Heath, Poole, BH16 6LT.

For the purposes of UK data protection law we are the data controller for the personal information described in this notice. If you have any question about how we handle your information, contact us at enquiries@wrightfuels.co.uk or on 01202 133 866.

2. What this notice covers

This notice explains what personal information we collect through this website and in the ordinary course of providing fuel testing, polishing, additive supply and gauge calibration services, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have. It applies to visitors to this website, people who make an enquiry, and contacts at our customer and supplier organisations.

3. Information we collect

Information you give us through the enquiry form. If you complete the enquiry form on our contact page, we collect your first and last name, your email address, and — where you choose to provide them — your telephone number, the postcode of the site concerned, the service you are enquiring about, and anything you write in the message box.

Information you give us in correspondence. If you email or telephone us, we hold a record of that correspondence and of any information you give us in it.

Information generated in the course of providing services. Where we carry out testing, polishing or calibration work we hold records relating to the job — site and tank details, sample identifiers, test results, reports issued, and the contact details of the people we deal with at the customer organisation. Most of this relates to a business rather than to an individual, but it will normally include named business contacts.

Technical information collected automatically. Our web hosting provider records standard server log information when a page is requested, including the IP address making the request, the date and time, the page requested, and the browser and operating system reported. This is generated by the web server itself and is used for security and to keep the site working.

We do not collect special category data through this website, and we ask that you do not send us sensitive personal information through the enquiry form.

4. Why we use your information, and our lawful basis

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your enquiry and provide a quotation. Our lawful basis is that the processing is necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, or our legitimate interests in responding to people who contact us about our services.
  • To provide the services you have engaged us for, including scheduling work, carrying out analysis and issuing reports. Our lawful basis is performance of a contract, or our legitimate interests in administering our business relationship with a corporate customer.
  • To keep records of the work we have done, including test results and calibration reports, so that results remain traceable and we can answer later questions about a job. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in maintaining accurate technical records, and in some cases compliance with a legal obligation.
  • To manage our business — invoicing, credit control, insurance and dealing with complaints or disputes. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in running the business properly, and compliance with our legal obligations.
  • To keep this website secure and available. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interests in protecting our systems.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have considered whether those interests are overridden by your interests or rights, and we are satisfied that they are not. You can object to processing carried out on this basis — see section 10.

We do not send marketing emails or newsletters from this website, and completing the enquiry form does not sign you up to anything. If that changes we will update this notice and, where required, ask for your consent first.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

This website does not use cookies. It sets no cookies of its own, contains no analytics, advertising or tracking technology, and embeds no third-party content that would set cookies on your device. Nothing is stored in your browser's local storage. Because nothing is stored on or read from your device beyond what is strictly necessary to deliver the pages you request, no cookie consent banner is shown.

If we later add anything that does use cookies — for example website analytics — we will update this notice and seek your consent before any non-essential cookie is set.

6. Who we share your information with

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing purposes. We share it only where necessary, with:

  • Our web hosting provider, which hosts this website and processes enquiry form submissions on our behalf
  • Our email provider, through which enquiries and correspondence reach us
  • Our IT and software suppliers, where they need access in order to support the systems we use
  • Our accountants, insurers and professional advisers, where relevant to a matter they are advising on
  • Subcontractors or specialist laboratories, where a particular test or piece of work is carried out with their involvement
  • Regulators, law enforcement or other third parties, where we are required to do so by law

Where a supplier processes personal information on our behalf, they act on our instructions under a written contract and may not use it for their own purposes.

7. Where your information is held

We aim to keep personal information within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. Some of the service providers we use may store or access information outside those areas. Where that happens, we take steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection, such as relying on UK adequacy regulations or on the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. You can ask us for details of the safeguards that apply.

8. How long we keep it

We keep enquiries that do not lead to work for up to two years, so that we have context if you come back to us. Records relating to work we have carried out — including test results, reports and calibration certificates — are kept for at least six years from the end of the relationship, reflecting the period in which a claim could be brought and the value of being able to refer back to earlier results for the same site or tank. Financial records are kept for the periods required by tax and company law. When information is no longer needed we delete it or securely destroy it.

9. How we protect it

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss or damage. This website is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection, access to our systems is restricted to those who need it, and accounts are protected by strong authentication. No transmission over the internet can be guaranteed completely secure, so please do not send us anything highly sensitive through the enquiry form.

10. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

  • Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
  • Ask us to delete information where there is no good reason for us to continue holding it
  • Object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests
  • Ask us to restrict how we use your information while a question about it is resolved
  • Ask us to transfer certain information to you or another provider in a machine-readable format
  • Withdraw consent at any time, where we are relying on consent

To exercise any of these rights, email enquiries@wrightfuels.co.uk. We will respond within one month. There is normally no charge. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request, and some rights do not apply in every circumstance — if we cannot do what you have asked, we will explain why.

11. Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information, please tell us first so we have the chance to put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection:

12. Changes to this notice

We may update this notice from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. Where a change is significant we will make that clear on this page.
